Neymar Jr Looking to Return to His Former Club Instead of Joining Lionel Messi at Inter Miami After Al-Hilal's Decision to Terminate His Contract: Reports
Brazilian star Neymar is subject to make a move again as Al-Hilal is looking to offload their striker in the coming months. He was strongly connected with the MLS side Inter Miami with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez already at the club, but the 32-year-old striker has his heart set for one of his former clubs.
Neymar Jr was ‘the Prince’ who was promised to take over the throne from Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. But multiple injuries hit his career growth and the star got stuck into the ‘talented players’ pool. Yet his popularity, abilities, and gameplay make him a very lucrative prospect for any club as we have seen during his moves from Barcelona to PSG to Al-Hilal. But considering his injury-prone nature he is now once again subject to move from Al-Hilal. The side expressed a desire to terminate his contract making him available in the transfer market. Inter Miami CF – the MLS Club with already four Barcelona players in their squad was favourites to land Neymar Jr until a report from the club sources hints at the Brazilian star’s desire to play for one of his former sides.

Neymar is reportedly in talks with Al-Hilal aimed at striking an amicable termination agreement, and he wants to play for Santos once more.
